Chapter 324

OLIVIA

My dad and Ethan came in very late looking drunk. It was around ten at night when they came acting all suspicious, asking to talk to Marcus in private. I was dying of curiosity, but I held back, each time I got curious about their things, I ended up getting hurt. Instead of insisting they let me in on whatever they were talking about.

I took Lilly up stairs to her room and put her to bed. Then went to check on Samuel, my son was fast asleep. I liked that he slept now but he still couldn’t sleep through the night, he still woke up in the middle of the night. He was better though; I could see the difference since he started seeing the therapist.

What I did now was sleep in my room but had a baby monitor for his room like with Lilly, so I could hear him when he woke up and I would go and calm him down. “What are they doing here this late?” asked Lupita coming in and handing me a cup of camomile tea.

“Beats me and I don’t want to know. When they are acting all secretive it’s normally nothing good. This time, I am not getting involved, I am still dealing with the aftermath of what Xander did, I don’t need more. My plate is full.” Lupita chuckled looking at me as if she didn’t believe a word I said.

“Trust me, Lupita, this time, I am not getting involved.” She shrugged. Why was it so hard for her to believe me? I had learned my lesson with Xander. Getting involved with him even after my husband warned me against it, got me into so much trouble and got other people involve as well.
